More than 1.3 million more gamers from more than 120 countries tuned into the live stream to see developers, tech talks, a 24-hour modding competition, a Dota 2 tournament, and much more during the 24-hour event (see infographic, right).

We also donated $50,000 to Donate Games in the fight against cancer.

At the heart of the celebration was the launch of Maxwell and our new graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 980 and GeForce GTX 970.

NVIDIA’s newest GTX GPU architecture is more than just another new product.

It’s the result of years of work by more than a thousand engineers who poured everything they know about graphics into our next-gen technology.

It’s a story only our CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, could tell.

And from the moment Jen-Hsun welcomed the audience to Hangar 8 in Los Angeles gamers were blown away.

The celebration had begun. Maxwell – and our new GeForce GTX GPUs — have since been heralded for what they are: amazing.

Gamers are our friends, our family, and our community. It’s a great culture, and it’s a privilege to contribute to it.
